DD's school has announced that from now on all Year 3 homework is going be done online. They're using BugClub for reading and MyMaths for maths. I haven't seen either of these yet as the log-in details haven't come home (I'll see them later today) but I'm instinctively very unhappy about what this will entail, on a number of fronts. Most of my worries are about screen addiction (which I, like most adults, suffer from myself, and want to delay the onset of in my children for as long as possible). But I'm also very far from convinced that this is the best way for a child to learn and truly understand maths. And certainly for reading, DD loves reading, part of which is the pleasure of curling up with a book, which I really don't want to take away from her.
Has anyone else with a child in Year 3 had this imposed on them and did you try and resist?
